Edit My Photo December 2021 - Annabel
Feb 17, 2022By Craig Turner-Bullock
Annabel was the winner of this month’s Edit My Photo challenge in the Unleashed Education community, with her fantastic edit of Roley the Maine Coon.
As the winner of the challenge, Annabel submitted this image. It's a great shot and just needs some of the highlight and shadow detail, a bit of cleaning up in the fur and some attention to the crop and composition.
